For in this household, he was not the Imam, respected leader of the Muslim community, nor was he just another regular husband and father. With their sons Kader and Yusuf away at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Mohammed Abdi and his wife Halima had their majestic townhouse to themselves.

"Have a good night and get home safe, Salaam, I must return home," Imam Abdi said, smiling beatifically at his fellow believers, before excusing himself.As Mohammed stepped into the living room, he found Halima sitting on the couch, legs crossed, with a riding crop resting on her lap.Mohammed looked at his wife, and noticed that she looked non too pleased with him. "Excuses, excuses, Mo, I've heard them all, now, lose the clothes, get on your fucking knees and shut the fuck up," Halima said sharply, and her brown eyes, usually full of love and understanding, glared at Mohammed Abdi mercilessly.Hell, earlier this week, Imam Abdi had a sit-down with the Chief of Police and the Mayor about community policing and how local law enforcement might better engage with the Muslim community.Upon his recommendation, the police department hired five more Arabic-speaking employees, and two Somali ones.
